Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Burnley and Wolves. Nuno Espirito Santo's side suffered a blow to their hopes of securing Champions League football with the news that Manchester City's European ban has been overturned. Wolves need to close a four-point gap between themselves and Leicester with just three games left and hope they finish above Manchester United. A tall order. Tonight's match against Burnley is a must-win, but Sean Dyche's side still have their eyes on a Europa League spot. It sure is the business end of the season.

End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: It's all over, and Wolverhampton Wolves' Champions League hopes may just be over too. What a dramatic finale at Turf Moor!
90'+6
GOAL! Burnley 1-1 Wolves (Wood, pen): No goalkeeper would stand a chance of saving that, as Wood tucks it away emphatically. Burnley surely have a share of the spoils now...

90'+5
PENALTY TO BURNLEY! Wood tries an overhead kick but misses it. However, the ball strikes the arm of Doherty and Mike Dean points to the spot! Unbelievable scenes at Turf Moor! VAR will check... but the referee's decision stands!
90'+3
WHAT A MISS! Brady delivers a cross to the far post, Patricio is all at sea and Vydra heads it back across the face of goal. From three yards out and with the goal gaping, Chris Wood heads wide. An incredible miss.
90'+2
Pieters suffers a knock to the back of the head from Dendocker while challenging for a header. Nothing to worry about, though.
90'
There will be FIVE minutes added on!
88'
Moutinho goes long with the free-kick on the second attempt as Boly's headed effort is sent straight at Pope. Wolves look like they will comfortably hold on for maximum points here.
87'
Wolves work a clever quickly-taken free-kick, Moutinho slipping in Traore, but Pope is off his line quickly to clear before the former Middlesbrough man can get there. But it matters little, as Mike Dean orders the free-kick to be re-taken, for whatever reason.
85'
Burnley sub: Robbie Brady comes on for Brownhill as Dyche tries to find a late equaliser.

Burnley have lost their way as we enter the last 10 minutes. They are heading for only their second defeat since football resumed. It would probably spell the end of their Europa League hopes, too.

77'
That could prove a massive goal for Wolves. They will move to within a point of fourth placed Leicester in the battle for a Champions League spot if they can hold on.
76'
GOAL! Burnley 0-1 Wolves (Jimenez): Traore finds Doherty whose shot is blocked and falls into the path of Jimenez. And what an absolutely stunning finish from the edge of the box. He fires an unstoppable first-time volley into the corner of the net, leaving Pope with no chance.

71'
Vinagre races past McNeil and stands up a cross in search of Doherty, who is hoping to make an immediate impact. Pieters, though, is up higher to clear.
70'
Wolves sub: Matt Doherty comes on for Podence, while Burnley's Long is back to his feet and looks good to continue. Play resumes.

Long gets his right foot caught in the ground and falls really awkwardly. There will be a stoppage to allow the Burnley defender to receive treatment. And now its time for a drinks break.
66'
McNeil is a clever player and he wins Burnley a free-kick on the right channel. Westwood's delivery picks out Long at the far post but he fails to guide his header on target.
